HUMAN Doctoral Network

🧬 First Webinar of 2026! Uncovering sex-specific vulnerabilities in cancer metabolomics — from patients to pathways with Dr. Caroline Johnson of Yale School of Public Health 🗓 06.02.26, 13:00 CET 🔗 Zoom: bit.ly/humandn_webina… #CancerResearch #Metabolomics #webinar

#Weekend Read: Using EIEIO-MS/MS, @metabolomicaceu scientists mapped double bond positions in human plasma lipids (NIST SRM 1950). 🔗bit.ly/3VO3tEm #Lipidomics #MassSpec

#Weekend Read 🔦The “dark metabolome” isn’t a myth, it’s a frontier. New research shows most unannotated signals in metabolomics are not just fragmentation artefacts, but real, undiscovered molecules. 🚀 🔗bit.ly/4pSxDUD #Metabolomics #DarkMetabolome #MassSpec

How do plants create their vast chemical diversity? 🌿 Join Tomáš Pluskal (IOCB Prague & MZIO) for our next HUMAN Webinar: 🔬 Decoding the Chemical Universe of Plants 🗓 14 Nov 2025 | 🕐 13:00 CET | 💻 Zoom 🔗 bit.ly/humandn_webina… #webinars #metabolomics

🔬 Piercing the secrets of tumors: New nanoneedle tech can “imprint” living tissue, mapping lipid changes in space & time. It can: ✅ Distinguish healthy vs cancer tissue ✅ Predict glioma grade ✅ Track chemo response in real time Curious?🔗bit.ly/3KqOwpd #Lipidomics

🔬 New in #MassSpectrometry: SpectriPy bridges R & Python for data analysis. Breaking language barriers → more flexible & reproducible science. 🚀 🔗bit.ly/48L9yJa #RStats #Python #Bioinformatics #OpenSource

New #HUMAN paper out! 🩸 Our partners from @metabolomicaceu explored blood microsampling (DBS, qDBS, VAMS) for untargeted #lipidomics using high-throughput LC-MS. Volumetric devices show plasma-like precision & recovery! 🔗bit.ly/476qWXw

What if Heisenberg had a mass spec? Would he be interested in #meth-abolomics? This latest #Weekend Read, explores how plasma metabolomics and bioinformatics modeling can uncover the hidden biological signatures of chronic methamphetamine use. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/3InEYdS

#Weekend Read #Metabolomics annotation is hard. And JESTR attempts makes it easier by treating molecules & spectra as two views of the same object — and ranking candidates with joint embeddings. Result? Big gains over some of existing tools. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/4mdd4PB

🚨 Not all pathways are created equal! Applying gene-centric tools to metabolomics can mislead. We unpack 5 pitfalls + strategies for better interpretation 🔬⚡ A must-read for systems biology & multi-omics: bit.ly/3I1jPpE #weekend #metabolomics

💡 Free + open to all: Steroid Metabolomics and Impact on Patient Care w/ Ravinder J. Singh (Mayo Clinic) 🗓️ 19 Sept 2025 | 13:00 CET | Zoom 🔗 bit.ly/humandn_webina… #webinars #metabolomics

Thrilled to see ❗3❗ HUMAN PIs in @TheAnalystSci’s 2025 #PowerList Top 10! 🎉👏 Congrats to Georgios Theodoridis, Michael Witting & Coral Barbas for their insights on making analytical science the keystone of all good science. 🔗 theanalyticalscientist.com/power-list/202…

#Weekend Read Alert! In this paper, single-cell mass cytometry was used to trace labelled glucose and glutamine in breast cancer cells, uncovering 40 active metabolites and revealed flux heterogeneity invisible to traditional methods! Curious? 🔗 bit.ly/3JFQjGr

🚨 Webinar Alert! 🚨 "From conventional to convenient: Blood microsampling in metabolomics" with Michael Witting (Helmholtz Munich) 🗓 Sept 23, 2025 | 11am ET / 4pm BST / 5pm CET ➡️ Register now: …is-publishing-limited.webinargeek.com/from-conventio… #Metabolomics #LifeSciences #Webinar

Exciting progress in computational metabolomics! The newly introduced CMRV offers a unified, community-driven language to describe tools, workflows, and data types across the field. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/4l5VcGl #metabolomics #weekendread

Reuse, re-analyze…ReDU! Pan-ReDU is a new framework that connects public data across GNPS, NMDR, and MetaboLights through standardized metadata, unique MS identifiers, and integrated tools. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/45RrAbd #Metabolomics #MassSpectrometry #OpenScience

#WeekendRead DreaMS — a self-supervised transformer model trained on 700M+ unannotated MS/MS spectra. It learns rich molecular representations directly from raw spectral data. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/43BDjYV #metabolomics #AI #machinelearning #deeplearning #annotation

Guess who showed up in full force at #MetSoc2025? 😉 Our DCs, PIs, and Associated Partners gathered in Prague for the biggest #Metabolomics conference of the year! How many of us did you get to meet?

🧠✨ New #Weekend Read! A randomized controlled trial shows that inulin supplementation during alcohol withdrawal can reshape the gut and blood metabolome in patients with AUD. Curious? 🔗bit.ly/4jnXRtP #health #metabolomics #gut #microbiome #fiber

Spotted 👀 in Paris! HUMAN PI Michael Witting and DC Pauline Couacault of HMGU delivered talks at the recently concluded RFMF Scientific Days last 10-13 June 2025. Fabien Jourdan (INRAE), another consortium collaborator, was also present in the event!
